There is 100% racism involved in the health care system that has measurable morbidity and mortality. And definitely could have (probably did) contributed to the suffering and inattention you experienced.

Yeah, I mean, Philly is one of the least white cities in the country. And one of the most liberal. And not afraid to tell people when they aren’t welcome. Not the place to try this.

This is awesome. I learned about Ida B. Wells several years ago when delving into the history of women’s suffrage. Specifically about how white women (like me) abandoned the black leaders who had helped make much of the progress for universal suffrage, and pursued only white women’s suffrage. She was important in that…

I stopped pledging allegiance in elementary school. Not because I don’t like living in the US but because I like living in the US (or did) and I refuse to pledge allegiance to anything. Especially when god is included. Now I’m old and embarrass my kids too much. So I usually stand during anthem if my teenager is with…

It took me several years to identify why I got a random rash on my face, near my mouth, eye, and ear. I’m very allergic to poison ivy (been hospitalized).

Yes... and the more recent science suggests that the benefits of stretching accrue to gentle stretching after physical activity. Stretching can help alleviate muscle strains/spasms and acts as a cool down. The short warm-up with high-knees etc is basically also a light dynamic stretch like you mentioned.

Everytime I’ve tried cornbread in a skillet it has turned to disaster. (And I have very well seasoned pans). I’m wiling to try again.. maybe try a lower temp preheat and a smaller pan and I won’t end up with a corn cracker topped with a quarter inch of corn bread.

My son went to a friend’s house to watch the game as how 14 year old boys celebrate birthdays.

No actual clue.. but there are animals that get rescued and can never be released (wouldn’t survive, were too young, etc) that rescue orgs either keep, or ask others to keep (after a period of raising/rehabilitation etc), and use them in public education programs.

You are allowed to end sentences with a preposition now. Because avoiding it decreases clarity. That is generally when the grammar people relent on rules (when using them makes things less clear or requires extra space/typing etc.

I will die on that hill with you.

It’s not QUITE possible to consume with a straw, (unless you get a huge one and it melts enough that the last inch or two gets to be like a slushie)

I know that was my first thought... how is the actual origin of memorial day not relevant to memorial day.

I have (and use basically exclusively) a 60% keyboard. I got it mostly because it wasn’t >100 dollars and it was available with the switches I want (box whites).

Yeah I’m a general philly sports fan (as is required growing up within 5 miles... though only really care about Phillies and Union). A box of popcorn is very gentle. Sort of like confetti.

I made this point earlier, sort of.  We don’t know what the kids told the counselor. It’s possible they told them they didn’t want to pick, or wanted to see their dad more but didn’t want that decision to be revealed to their mom. Who knows. I can imagine being a kid who knows their mom (who they love) doesn’t want…

That has been happening for awhile now. (the visitation). The only part of her appeal that I think is reasonable is that the judge should hear from children old enough to talk (if their counselor/court advocate) thinks that is what’s best for them.

Glad someone said it because I was thinking it and was feeling like a terrible person for my first thought being about her skin, and my second thought being about her overall amazing look (dress, hair, determined as F look on her face).

I would say plenty of people are not fine with it... but you usually grill burgers, and/or flip them during cooking. And you usually put a burger in a bun and/or put cheese on it.

Exactly. a slice of left over pizza is a quick lunch option. If you have more than one or two slices, reheat in the oven.
